Weekend Happy Hour: Lemon Drop Cocktail

by Bob Sassone, Posted Aug 4th 2007 @ 5:22PM

Lemon Drop It's so hot and humid right now, I feel like crying. I should really move to northern Canada for July and August every year, or at least find some way to be cryogenically frozen for those two months. Wake me up when Jerry Lewis walks out on stage again.

However, there are some things we can drink to take a little bit of the heat away, like The Lemon Drop Cocktail. The full recipe is after the jump, but what I would do before you start drinking it is 1) take off all of your clothes, and 2) buy a big fan and put it in front of you (actually, maybe you shouldn't do it in that order). Then make the drink and sip accordingly.

Lemon Drop Cocktail

2 cups frozen citron vodka
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 lemon, thinly sliced for garnish
Ice

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake lightly to combine and pour into frosted martini glasses.

(The pic above is a variation on the drink, without the frosted glass and what looks like a sugared rim.)
